So, to keep my options open, I'm also building a list for my Flesh Tearers at 2k for the NOVA, just in case. Last year, I went and took an all jump, led by the Sanguinor list, and I went 4-4 with it. In case my earlier supposition about vehicles was wrong, I thought I'd try something else, and make a vehicle heavy (for me) BA list. If the flyer rules are as good as they say, and if the flyer rules get transferred to the Storm Raven, well, I do have two that I converted just sitting about....

Here's the list I'm toying with (pun intended):


HQ: 1 Reclusiarch in Power Armour, 145 pts = (base cost 130 + Power Fist 15)

Elite: Furioso Librarian (1#, 175 pts)
   1 Furioso Librarian, 175 pts, Shield, Might of Heroes

Elite: Furioso Librarian (1#, 175 pts)
   1 Furioso Librarian, 175 pts Fear of Darkness, Might of Heroes

Elite: Terminator Assault Squad (5#, 225 pts)
5x TH/SS

Troops: Assault Squad (10#, 235 pts)
  2x Melta, Power Fist

Troops: Assault Squad (10#, 235 pts)
  2x Melta, Power Fist

Troops: Assault Squad (10#, 225 pts)
 2x Flamer, Power Fist

Heavy Support: Vindicator (1#, 155 pts)
   1 Vindicator, 155 pts = (base cost 145) + Siege Shield 10

Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship (1#, 215 pts)
   1 Stormraven Gunship, 215 pts = (base cost 200 + Extra Armor 15)

Heavy Support: Stormraven Gunship (1#, 215 pts)
   1 Stormraven Gunship, 215 pts = (base cost 200 + Extra Armor 15)

Hopefully, the 6th Ed book will be in stores to look at tomorrow, but if not, I'll have a farewell game of 5th to tide me over.

NOVA Open and 6th

Given a number of the rumors floating about regarding 6th edition, it seems a less vehicle friendly place than it was before, at least to those light vehicle armies that we know and love. Given that supposition*, I'm seriously considering taking The Host of Hope's Demise to the NOVA Open, my all Nurgle based Chaos Daemons army. They've always excelled against a meat-bag based army, and have struggled against a metal based one. Could my tide of rotten flesh and rancid thoughts shuffle it's way to victory? It's hard to say, but it's fun to have an extra 250 points to play with**. I'll have to see the new mission structure, and how that will affect the NOVA's scoring, but I don't think it will be too much of a sea change.

My only concern is how to deal with flyers, who seem to have significant buffs to their defensive capabilities, but I've also heard rumors that flying monstrous creatures will also receive these buffs, and I'll likely have at least two of those. Of course, we're all guessing until the 30th, so who knows?

*And the fact that I love their paint job.
**I usually play at 1750, and the NOVA is at 2k.

Lost and Found

I started cleaning and reorganizing my hobby area this past Sunday. 

I found three rhinos on sprue and an assembled drop pod I had forgotten about.

It felt like Christmas. 

Before I go to sleep...

Just a project that I'm workin' on.
